If you don't systematically study the Bible you develop a patchwork of belief

Not much on titles, just ask my congregation! Our country is in a catastrophic moral and religious crisis. It stems from basic ignorance of God's word. And unfortunately the consequences are progressive. Isaiah 5:13a (NASB95) Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge... First we are exiled or castaway in a sea of moral relativism. No absolute truth makes for a stormy existence. The Bible is supposed to be our moral compass and our guide for everyday life. But if truth is viewed as subjective then what is there to guide our life? Only one-third (34%) of Americans believe in absolute moral truth.

I am the true vine

A teaching on the Gospel of John chapter 15. To understand this passage, you must understand Jesus' “I am" statements.   The end the book of John Jesus made the following" I am" statements: I am the bread of life, I am the bread came down from heaven I am the living bread, I am the light of the world, I am, I am the door, I am the good Shepherd, I am the resurrection and life, I am he, I am the way the truth in the life. In each of these statements Jesus is stating that he is the source of true spiritual and everlasting life .   In John Chapter 15 this “I am” statements is no exception. If you read the previous three chapters you will see that this passage is similar in teaching. John 15 1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
